2:05 am

Frances

J.C. the burp is when Babble freezes for a bit . . . . at eight o'clock here.

2:05 am

J. C.

Oh dear - very sorry to hear that, GroovyKiwi! :(

2:05 am

flosey

JC - it's what you referred to as hiccough I believe

2:05 am

J. C.

Oh, I see - I was off in the kitchen just then, getting a cuppa. Missed it . . .

2:06 am

J. C.

Yes, flosey - worked that out now. ;)

2:06 am

Frances

Oh, I am so sorry to hear that Groovy. I wish him - and you well.

2:06 am

flosey

darn, that reminds me, I plugged the kettle in about an hour ago!

2:06 am

J. C.

Yes, I hope they can do something for him, Kiwi.

2:06 am

flosey

good thing it clicks off automatically

2:06 am

GroovyKiwi

ty jc it is tough but we are learning to live with the fact that it may be there for ever until such time as they decide it has become life threatening which it isnt at the moment but is causing him headaches litterally

2:06 am

J. C.

Glad I was good for something then, flosey! ;)

2:06 am

flosey

always JC

2:06 am

J. C.

Yes, if mine didn't have an automatic shut-off switch, I'd be in trouble! :P

2:07 am

J. C.

Oh no, Kiwi - they can't do anything to help him? :/

2:07 am

J. C.

Is it inoperable?

2:08 am

GroovyKiwi

we are still waiting to get into see the neurologist - kiwi public health system sucks tho we did have another mri last friday and waiting to see the neurosurgeon to get results on that

2:08 am

GroovyKiwi

not so much inoperable jc its the fact that they dont know how long its been there and just want to monitor it at this stage because its only 5.6mm in diameter

2:08 am

Frances

How old is he Groovy?

2:08 am

GroovyKiwi

he will be 17 in dec

2:09 am

J. C.

I see, Kiwi - wish you lots of luck there!

2:09 am

J. C.

Awww, he's so young - just a kid. :/

2:09 am

GroovyKiwi

ty jc

2:09 am

GroovyKiwi

i think for him its worse being told he cant learn to drive anymore and that it may effect him joining the army next year that has really put the spanner in the works

2:10 am

J. C.

Do they know what sort of a tumour it is, Kiwi? Benign or malignant?

2:10 am

Frances

Groovy I hope they can find some way to help him. You must be so worried.

2:10 am

J. C.

Of course, Kiwi - that would be very upsetting! :/

2:10 am

jillibus

here's my staircase -- enjoy!

2:10 am

GroovyKiwi

2:10 am

J. C.

2:11 am

GroovyKiwi

I know, your flush of triumph would fade when you realise you've nothing to do except massage your fingers and buy a new keyboard.

3:37 am

FMitch

The old trick of re'ing everything has worked. Nice grid and not too many strange words.

3:38 am

Haz1558

So you're done?

3:38 am

FMitch

yup :)

3:38 am

Haz1558

Congratulations!

3:38 am

FMitch

*curtsies*

3:40 am

Haz1558

So now what? Finger massage?

3:41 am

FMitch

coffee I think and then a couple of calls to make.

3:41 am

FMitch

3:41 am

Haz1558

Fair enough! See you shortly.

3:49 am

redturtlehead

WHooo Hooo Big grid. Now goes back to lurking as its really too early for any Americans to be here.

3:50 am

Haz1558

Good morning, red. It's okay, we don't shoot early Americans or anything.

3:50 am

redturtlehead

LOL, I usually tend to lurk in morning as i often leave abruptly, dont want anyone to think I am rude.

3:52 am

Haz1558

I don't think I'd think that. People come and go.

3:53 am

Haz1558

I'll be sure not to talk about you in the morning in case you're silently observing.

3:53 am

redturtlehead

Ha!

3:53 am

redturtlehead

I wish I was interesting enough to talk about!

3:54 am

Haz1558

Oh, we'd just make up something.

3:54 am

redturtlehead

Even better....Can I have a fabulous love affair?

3:55 am

Haz1558

Only if his intentions are honourable.

3:55 am

redturtlehead

Snorts.

3:55 am

redturtlehead

bens

3:55 am

redturtlehead

Oops

3:56 am

Haz1558

We're having none of those love you and leave you types.

3:56 am

redturtlehead

head quickly to PB.

3:56 am

redturtlehead

it must be a torrid affair, becuase I like the word Torrid...so descriptive!

3:57 am

Haz1558

But it rhymes with horrid. Have you thought of that?

3:57 am

redturtlehead

Had not, will have to reconsider the torridness of a pretend affair.

3:58 am

Haz1558

My mother used to read a magazine where many of the short stories were described as 'heartwarming'. They were NOT torrid.

3:59 am

Haz1558

But the woman always got her man, and he usually wore a tweed jacket which tickled her chin when they embraced after all misunderstandings had been resolved.

4:00 am

redturtlehead

A heart warming fake affair? Hmmm, seems less exciting....

4:00 am

redturtlehead

teas

4:00 am

redturtlehead

tease

4:00 am

redturtlehead

Oh no bed time cleaarly....see you later.

4:01 am

See you later, red! I'll keep working on your virtual love to be.

6:17 am

Wolvie

herinfernallady

TraderKate

6:33 am

jacq

my mum was arguing with me, i love fossils, pre history all that stuff, and she said that dinosaurs and fossils were planted by scientists to discredit the church, it shocked me because she hasn't attended mass since she was a teenager, but the indoctrination is still there

8:42 am

mom2han8

8:43 am

mom2han8

It would depend on whose face it was!

8:43 am

jmcnrick

indeed -- and I have thought about this project for months -- I had all my food stuff on open shelves where it looked terrible so I have shifted my cook books and dishes there

8:43 am

jmcnrick

I would have to know and like him very very much

8:44 am

mom2han8

You will be happy with it when you finish. And it always looks terrible in the midst... I did my closets in July and was in a mess for 3 days... but now am happy they got done.

Hi Esprit

8:53 am

harpjane

number one reason to be afraid of universal health care--We can't have a public option because options limit freedom.....

8:53 am

harpjane

lol

8:53 am

EspritdJean

hi FM

8:53 am

harpjane

number two: If we had a government-run health care plan, people would certainly choose it over their own plans because government can’t do anything right.

8:53 am

harpjane

hope I"m waking someone up out there....

8:54 am

jmcnrick

that's an interesting theory that options limit freedom

8:54 am

jmcnrick

sorta like it is communism for the president to speak to the students to encourage them to stay in school

8:54 am

sprite

I'm awake. Baffled, but awake.

8:54 am

mom2han8

I think they already know what they are going to do... and they are just working on how best to sell it to us.

8:55 am

FMitch

I was listening to some of that on the BBC lunchtime news harp - will be interesting to see how it is greeted overall.

8:55 am

jmcnrick

because the government telling us what to do is communism except when it tells use to stand and salute a piece of cloth

8:55 am

harpjane

you're lucky to be baffled sprite, there is a ridiculously "dumbed down" argument going on over here about health care....

8:56 am

mom2han8

OMG... I was hysterical laughing at that guy who kept his kid home from school because he did not know what the president was going to say to the schoolchildren.... I mean what did he think he was going to say???

8:56 am

Is there still as much 'reds under the beds' feeling as ever there was?

8:56 am

9:01 am

Boobear

ty Haz

9:01 am

mom2han8

Clearly he trusted the wrong people...

9:02 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Boo.

9:02 am

mom2han8

I want to know what happened to an Act of Congress being necessary to declare war....

9:03 am

mom2han8

Don't think it has been done since WWII....

9:03 am

jacq

he did't declare was against a country, he declared war against a group of people

9:03 am

mom2han8

Everything else has been a "conflict"...

9:03 am

rururocks

I just dont' see the other part of the ar 8

9:03 am

jmcnrick

you are correct mom Dec 1941 was the last war declared by congress

9:04 am

sprite

ruru, part of Self according to Freud, plus vowel

9:04 am

mom2han8

Still officially requires an Act of Congress according to the Constitution...

9:04 am

Haz1558

ruru, remember what was said to Julius Caesar ' Beware the **** of March.' Make it singular.

9:04 am

jmcnrick

congress tried to reel back in that power in the late 1970s with the war powers act, but infact screwed it up even worse

9:05 am

FMitch

Must go and rattle some more cages, back in a while.

9:05 am

jmcnrick

have fun rattling

9:05 am

sprite

enjoy the rattling, FM

9:05 am

Haz1558

See you later, FM.

9:05 am

mom2han8

Perhaps you are familiar with that document... it is supposed to be what we base our laws upon...

9:06 am

mom2han8

They skirt it now by just requesting the money to send in "peacekeeping" troops...

9:06 am

robbie09

it is how a person interprets the law

9:06 am

jmcnrick

my husband was a criminal lawyer who was a true conservative -- he wanted to conserve the constitution esp. the bill of rights

9:06 am

sprite

it is all in the choice of words. Call it peacekeeping and it can never be construed as war.

9:06 am

mom2han8

Well... God Bless Him... there's a new theory!

9:07 am

jmcnrick

actually the d&*() war powers act allows the president to se4 in troops as long has he reports to congress

9:07 am

rururocks

thank you finally !

9:07 am

jmcnrick

wtg ru!

9:07 am

mom2han8

Still just semantics Sprite... and we are not stupid...

9:07 am

jmcnrick

I got to get a few things done too bbl

9:07 am

Haz1558

Well done, ruru!

9:07 am

mom2han8

bye JMC

9:07 am

robbie09

if the War of Terror is over what are we doing in Afghanistan?

9:08 am

jmcnrick

*muttering* now where should I put this bowl?

9:08 am

sprite

don't make me the enemy, mom2han8, I just observe and describe

9:08 am

mom2han8

The problem with The War on Terror is that it is a little broad, no???

9:08 am

sprite

lol bye for now jmc

9:08 am

mom2han8

Sprite... it was the powers that be that think we are stupid...not you... that did not come out right... sorry!

9:09 am

Boobear

clue for as 5

9:09 am

sprite

(fill it with coffee and you can put it next to my hand, jmc)

9:09 am

jacq

it was deliberately vague, it had to be to allow them to go where the taliban hide

9:09 am

sprite

lol ok mom2han8, I see your point

9:09 am

Haz1558

as5 - as plus the Governess to the King of Siam, minus a consonant.

9:10 am

mom2han8

Well, whatever it was it won't work...

9:12 am

mom2han8

Basically you have people who are teaching their children at a young age to hate Westerners and hiding behind their holy book (the worst kind of zealotry, in my opinion) to justify arming children... how do you fight that???

9:12 am

jacq

education, you educate the young people to the truth of their holy book and not the distorted version of zealots

9:13 am

sprite

yay jacq

9:13 am

mom2han8

I completely agree... but how??? Their leaders deliberately keep them poor and illiterate so that they can only be followers.

9:13 am

Boobear

Haz I don't understand your clue

9:13 am

jacq

all religious zealots distort the truth of their religion to make it say what they want it to

9:14 am

mom2han8

I think I just read recently that the average age for a Sudanese soldier is 12.... OMG... how insane is that?????

9:14 am

harpjane

good book: Three Cups of Tea

9:14 am

mom2han8

No question... they did it during the Crusades with the Bible...

9:14 am

sprite

true jacq, and Western religion has done the same with the Bible as well. For me, as soon as religion is no longer about love, it isn't about religion anymore either.

9:14 am

Haz1558

Boo, as plus **** Karenina, (Tolstoy) - take out one consonant.

9:14 am

jacq

we need to support those who speak the truth and stop training those who lie for our own ends, because once they have been trained and financed by the west they turn against us

9:15 am

mom2han8

The Communists had one thing right... "Religion is the opiate of the people".... they took it a little far, of course, but there is some truth to it.

9:16 am

sprite

religion is a personal thing.

9:16 am

jacq

the trouble is is that when people are poor and life is hard people lean more on religion because aid cannot give them the holy land and aid cannot give them eternal life with no hardship, only God can give them that, whichever face he wears in their faith

9:16 am

robbie09

hmm..i do not agree with Communists about anything

9:16 am

mom2han8

Once you start telling people that they should kill other people in the name of God, Allah, Buddha, whatever... then all is lost!

9:17 am

mom2han8

I don't have anything against religion... just what some people do with it.

9:17 am

jacq

holy books that speak of killing the infidel were written many centuries ago when religious hatred was rife and one had to kill or be killed

9:18 am

jacq

and a martyr was one who died for their faith not one who killed for it

9:18 am

sprite

I think people often forget that even holy books were written by men. However inspired, those books cannot be devine.

9:18 am

mom2han8

Interesting as all of this is... and it is interesting.. I must skedaddle...

9:19 am

sprite

bye mom2han8

9:19 am

robbie09

true sprite :-)

9:19 am

robbie09

bye mom2han8

9:20 am

harpjane

um, sprite? not everyone believes that... (cudking)

9:20 am

harpjane

I mean ducking lol

9:20 am

harpjane

I realize I'm the one who started this thread but it's probably time to bow out

9:21 am

sprite

lol

9:22 am

robbie09

lol..did not know how the discussion started..i just popped in!

9:23 am

robbie09

333 words..hmm half evil..lol

9:23 am

sprite

but it is rather sweet, the grid, robbie. Very little tough words for its size.

9:24 am

sprite

fireflies. Thanks for the chat, all, and have fun.

9:24 am

robbie09

thanks for the heads up on the grid

9:24 am

Haz1558

Well done, sprite, bye for now.

9:25 am

robbie09

9:28 am

Scrabbler

Good morning all! 333---lots of work to do. How is everyone?

9:28 am

crosshair

9:28 am

crosshair

scrabbs!

9:28 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Scrabbler - happy birthday for yesterday!

9:28 am

robbie09

hi scrabbler

9:29 am

Scrabbler

*writing down Crossy's rule*

9:29 am

robbie09

lol crossy

9:29 am

crosshair

my bartending rule as well

9:29 am

Scrabbler

TY, Hazel. Now that I am 50 I feel very mature, poised, and wise.

9:29 am

Scrabbler

Hi Robbie

9:30 am

Haz1558

Really? I'm still waiting for that transformation to take place, Scrabbler!

9:30 am

crosshair

now scrabbs dont get all serious and fuddy duddy on us or ill break out the dirty linericks

9:30 am

Scrabbler

It is never-ending, Hazel.

9:30 am

Haz1558

Did you have a nice day? I had a picture of George for you.

9:30 am

robbie09

Happy Belated Birthday Scrabbler..I did not see you in the chat yesterday...how was your birthday?

9:31 am

Scrabbler

I am still and will always be Silly Scrabbler!

9:31 am

Scrabbler

George's pic was in our newspaper yesterday--with Oprah.

9:32 am

Scrabbler

Cross, I will buy my vapor barrier and tape today then do my project. My visiting sister thinks I am nuts to attempt this so I will show her.

9:32 am

Haz1558

There was a picture of him arriving at the Venice Film Festival in my paper today. He had a female companion but you could see that he would have preferred to be elsewhere.

9:32 am

robbie09

George is a good looking fellow if i do say so myself

9:32 am

Haz1558

It's a big, but a fun grid, Scrabbler, you'll get it done no problem.

9:33 am

Haz1558

You speak the truth, robbie.

9:33 am

Scrabbler

He texted me right after that, Hazel, and told me how bored he was.

9:33 am

Haz1558

I'm sure.

9:34 am

robbie09

tell him I said hi Srabbler

9:34 am

Scrabbler

Sure, Robbie. I will text him now.

9:35 am

Haz1558

Does that not break the terms of your restraining order?

9:35 am

crosshair

dont worry scrabbys,it is easy once you get going

9:35 am

Haz1558

You don't want to spend the first days of your fifties locked up.

9:35 am

Scrabbler

George merely told you that he obtained a restraining order against me in order to calm you.

9:36 am

Scrabbler

TY, Crossy. I am feeling ready for this project.

9:36 am

crosshair

and remember to apply grout to wall with the float with the serrated adge

9:37 am

Scrabbler

OK. And I did get spacers too.

9:37 am

crosshair

good girl;))

9:37 am

Haz1558

Oh, the tiling project - I thought you meant that your sister was wondering about the wisdom of doing babble.

9:38 am

Scrabbler

I am looking forward to a shower that will look like new.

9:38 am

crosshair

and let the tiles harden to the wall overnight BEFORE you fill the spaces between the tiles

9:39 am

Scrabbler

Well, Hazel, she does think we are nuts to do Babble. She doesn't get it--she hates sitting in front of a computer.

9:39 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Crossy, why is that?

9:40 am

crosshair

if you try grouting the spaces before the tile is adhered to the wall you may move them so the lines end up uneven

9:41 am

Scrabbler

Aha, good advice. The offer still stands--you may come down here to assist me.

9:41 am

crosshair

lol wish i could

9:41 am

Scrabbler

I can do it.

9:41 am

sciencegeek

hey i am de 5/12 today! lol

9:42 am

Scrabbler

Hi SG. *wondering what word that is*

9:42 am

crosshair

lol once you do it once time,you will be a old pro at it.then before you know it youll be pounding the tile off every year so you can match your towels;))

9:42 am

sciencegeek

well, my students are!

9:43 am

Scrabbler

When I was looking for a replacement tile (one cracked), I did ponder replacing all of them with something upscale.

9:44 am

crosshair

then we can go on to paterned tile next time;0 with mosaics and other things;0

9:44 am

crosshair

next time we can incorperate a bunny rabbit design into the tiles;0

9:45 am

Scrabbler

Yes! I would like to replace my ceramic tile in kitchen with larger tile, stone appearance--?Travertine

9:45 am

Scrabbler

great idea, Cross!

9:45 am

crosshair

and after this,the kitchen tile will seem easier to you;))

9:46 am

Scrabbler

I have to dig up the existing stuff--approx 6 x 6 inch tiles. And I will ne4 a saw to cut new tiles to right size at edges.

9:46 am

harpjane

ae6?

9:47 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jane

9:47 am

Scrabbler

I haven't even pondered ae words yet

9:48 am

9:48 am

harpjane

thanks

9:48 am

Haz1558

No problem.

9:48 am

Scrabbler

TY, Hazel, and I have passed the 1/3 point.

9:48 am

crosshair

they sell hand tile cutters scrabbs and then get a pair of tile pinchers like the people who work with stained glass use and it is easy

9:49 am

crosshair

just score the tile and use the nippers

9:49 am

Haz1558

Well done, Scrabbler.

9:49 am

Boobear

Hi Scrabbler and crossy

Kate, Crossy told me to install a vapor barrier layer but Lowe's in town doesn't carry it. Home Depot has it but that is over 20 miles away. I will go there another day.

I spent the afternoon with Mary's kids and they had a birthday cake with gifts for me. My visiting sister (from NJ) stayed with me and enjoyed the kids too. Then we went to my cousin's house for a family dinner with cake + ice cream.

That's what I have to do for now. Crossy--Lowe's doesn't carry vapor barrier so I have to make a trip to Home Depot another day.

4:07 pm

Dorens

did you make the decision that you seemed to be making? sorry, but i haven't heard anything on this subject for over a week, and not sure where you are

4:07 pm

4:08 pm

4:08 pm

understandable.. hope i goes as smoothly as possible

4:10 pm

4:11 pm

Atalante

4:11 pm

TraderKate

^_^ there's an upside to everything...do you have enough people around you for support?

4:12 pm

Atalante

oh yes

4:12 pm

Atalante

I have people fighting over who gets to look after me LOL

4:13 pm

TraderKate

very good! what a popular girl you are, how lucky

4:14 pm

Atalante

*smug* LOL

4:15 pm

Dorens

indeed, she didn't earn that reputation for nothing (smug, that is, not popular- although she may be that as well)

4:15 pm

TraderKate

i must dash off, take care...keep us up to date...glad dorens had the good memory to ask you how things were....when were you going to say something?

4:37 pm

speedfreak

Thank you so much finished a's now to go make supper for my boys

4:37 pm

did you get instructions on how to use the crutches? Did they fit the crutches to you? Are you using them properly?

4:37 pm

dcseain

"af5 the ball is over, *hic* ra6 the break of dawn..."

Good evening everyone.

4:38 pm

dcseain

evening, elder

4:38 pm

KatieMcG

Hi elder

4:38 pm

KatieMcG

relent

4:38 pm

Dorens

i just got them on sunday, that's probably when i complained. we had a very brief session (was from ER nurse).. i think they fit, and i walked a bit for her and she said i was doing it right. of course a few steps in the hall was completely different from the trek from the ER through the parking lot to my car. that was torturous

4:38 pm

KatieMcG

did someone mention cookies in the pb?

4:38 pm

Dorens

hi elder and join me katie, i haven't eaten them all up yet

4:39 pm

dcseain

yes, chocolate chip ones and oatmeal ones

4:39 pm

KatieMcG

ty Dorens, I'll bring some hot chocolate!

4:39 pm

dcseain

i'l whip up some peanut butter if you'd prefer.

4:39 pm

sciencegeek

16 left and i am stuck

4:39 pm

Dorens

you can have the chocolate chip, I am hogging the oatmeal. will share some of the dark chocolate truffles

4:39 pm

KatieMcG

they sound great dc, no need for the peanut butter ones

4:39 pm

BabbleRabble

You might benefit from a palanquin, Dorens

4:40 pm

KatieMcG

Oh sorry got to dash can hear hubby hopping down the stairs! see you all tomorrow x

4:40 pm

indeed i would babrab, but who's going to carry it?

4:40 pm

BabbleRabble

be well, KatieMcG

4:40 pm

Dorens

bye kate

4:40 pm

BabbleRabble

the palanquiners?

4:40 pm

dcseain

hasta, katie

4:40 pm

Nef

Dorens, so many medical people don't tell the patients how to fit them properly or how to use them. I go up to total strangers and try to correct them if they are doing it wrong. Here's a good site with instructions in fitting them to you and in using them too. http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/u
vahealth/peds_orthopaedics/crutch.cfm

4:41 pm

Dorens

thank you nef, that is most kind of you!

4:42 pm

Boobear

clue for as 5 pls

4:42 pm

Dorens

a + ***t* claus

4:42 pm

jaianniah

Hi, all. Anyone have a clue for as5?

4:43 pm

jaianniah

Nvermind! LOL!

4:43 pm

Nef

LOL! Sometimes I embarrass my family doing that! I've had to use crutches for months several times in the past 10 years and if I wouldn't have known how to use them, I'd be crippled by now

4:44 pm

Dorens

the web site is terrific Nef. one problem i have is that rather than go down the stairs to my garage, i'm walking outside, where there are only five stairs. but i am walking on a sloped walk made of granite slabs, and it is uneven

4:45 pm

Dorens

i should think i'd be grateful if a stranger helped me that way

4:46 pm

BabbleRabble

The site is terrific ... wish it would have answered Dorens' question of the other day ... how does someone on crutches get the cup of coffee to where the person is sitting?

4:47 pm

Nef

a small rolling table works

4:48 pm

Dorens

lol babrab. still haven't quite gotten the hang of it. i could drink my coffee in the kitchen, where it's made, very siimply.... but this computer is anout 15 feet away

4:49 pm

Dorens

indeed! i think i have one shoved in a corner from when my father was living here, doing the hospice thing. i'll have to check, but I'm not trying to walk around any more than necessary. the real problem will come on sunday when my daughter wants me to help her move into new apt.

Dorens, some people aren't. One guy acted as though he was about to beat me with his crutches! I got out of that elevator on the next stop! Nothing like hurting and being angry and rude when someone (who identifies themselves as a nurse) tries to help

4:50 pm

Dorens

huh! i am NOT going to wal-mart these days!

4:50 pm

crosshair

then zellers if the u.s has em

4:50 pm

Dorens

guess you have to pick them carefully nef..

4:51 pm

crosshair

pain can make people do funny things

4:51 pm

Dorens

no, thanks crossy... i appreciate it. but i just can't go shopping... walking as little as possible. and then again, i would have to go to the kitchen to put the water in the coffeepot, or carry water in here from the sink. either way, it's a problem. i will have to find that little rolling table when someone is here to lug it into the kitchen.

4:52 pm

Nef

yep. And Dorens, YOU are not goign to help her move! You just stand there looking helpless in the middle of the sidewalk and flag down some strangers to help her! (Make sure they are cute and good-looking and kind too) ;-)

4:53 pm

Dorens

npo, nef, she wants me there to help set up the kitchen.. you know, the mom thing. i have done it in all her moves, and she can't imagine not having me there. also, if i'm not there to drive her from one apt. to another, she'll have to take a bus

4:54 pm

sciencegeek

clue pls for the last se 6/18???

4:54 pm

ch1212

sci, calm ...

4:54 pm

Dorens

i will have my hunk to do the driviing, and help her with any lifting... i will tell him where to put the dishes, and the glasses, and the pots and pan and he will oblige. good arrangement

4:55 pm

sciencegeek

have that one, need the other one working from the bottom of list up

4:55 pm

Boobear

I need another clue for as 5

4:56 pm

Dorens

hey nef, you know this stylish litle "cast shoe" they gave me? do you think if I'm home i can take it off as long as i keep the ace bandage on?

4:56 pm

BabbleRabble

one in Congress: Se*ator + a seine

4:56 pm

Nef

that sounds like a good plan, Dorens. I was talking of you getting a young guy to help so SHE could meet him! ;-)

4:56 pm

ch1212

well, uh ... the last se6/18 in the list is the one meaning calm, low-key ... but I'll work on the one above that.

if it has laces and is the standard ortho flat shoe, you can take it off and it might help you to put heat on it for 20 minutes at a time to help reduce the swelling (when the foot is elevated above your heart)

5:01 pm

crosshair

someone said champers...

5:01 pm

Dorens

velcro. and ii still haven't figured out a halfway graceful way to have the foot above the heart without lying down

ty crossy and yes dc, those are good ideas, but still rarely can get foot above heart level. particularly when babbling!

5:05 pm

5:05 pm

i've been in and out

5:05 pm

laptop or desktop, dorens?

5:05 pm

J. C.

That would be difficult, unless seated in a reclined recliner with an elevated foot-rest, and using a laptop, Dorens!

5:05 pm

sciencegeek

i have one left and it is an re 6/18 toward the bottom of the list any clues????

5:06 pm

dcseain

or with a laptop in a loveseat so one can prop leg on opposite arm

5:06 pm

BabbleRabble

I attached a pulley to the ceiling and hoisted my leg to the desired height

5:06 pm

5:06 pm

we re6 the form again yesterday

5:06 pm

J. C.

Wow . . . good going, sciencegeek! I still have 75 left, but have been elsewhere, most of the time.

5:07 pm

Dorens

i prefer my desktop. but will bring the laptop to bed when i decide to pack it in - right now i'm eying the kitchen thinking about dinner. that might not make it appear though. Ken brought me dinner every night so far, but he has a meeting tonight and i said i could scrounge for myself, rather than him having to drop something off. i can, i know i can.

5:07 pm

sciencegeek

i have that one it is something else in the re 6/18 i have re vend re mail out past tense

5:07 pm

kje

delivery

5:07 pm

dcseain

yes, you can pick up the phone and call for chinese or pizza

5:08 pm

sciencegeek

vexing me to no end. i ate two chocolate bars!

5:08 pm

Dorens

smart babrab ( that is a redundancy, isn't it?) I'm hopeful that this is so temporary it won't need a major renovation here

5:08 pm

dcseain

re6- close again, as with wax?

it is in the last four 6/18 on the re's there is one missing i have the pl of the 5/10

5:10 pm

kje

dorens - when I was lying in bed with my leg on a elevator and trying to cook from a wheelchair, I discovered everyplace in my area that delivers... some great discoveries too

and then how do i get to the door which is down a flight of seven steps? leave the door open and just yell at the guy to come in?

5:11 pm

dcseain

congrats, science

5:11 pm

Nef

oops!

5:12 pm

sciencegeek

re 6/18 - used to curdle milk, also related to cow's stomach!

5:12 pm

dcseain

so, what was missing, science?

5:12 pm

J. C.

There's an idea, Dorens . . .

5:12 pm

bummer with the steps, my house has no inside steps... but yes, could holler if trusted the people

5:12 pm

cheese enzyme!

5:12 pm

5:12 pm

sciencegeek

took me most of the day inbetween classes

5:12 pm

sciencegeek

anyone want clues before I go??

5:13 pm

Dorens

i don't ever get delivery (ken is my delivery boy) so don't know if i trust them, but yah I am basically a trusting soul. will think about it.. but now. as soon as i make my first pss through lickeety's list i'm going to hop into the kitchen and make something very simple

5:15 pm

kje

down the stairs on your bum is the usual way to go... then up the same way ; )

5:15 pm

Dorens

wow, kj, i never thought about that... thanks. now i can go bring in today's mail!

5:16 pm

kje

easy to do dorens... did it many a time on stairs at work

5:17 pm

Nef

Sorry, I was on a phone call when I entered that word in the wrong spot.

5:17 pm

kje

other thing i often did, if there is a rail, through one crutch down the stairs, then use the other crutch and the rail to slowly hop down one stair at a time, thn pick crutch up at the bottom

5:17 pm

kje

throw... not through, sorry

5:18 pm

Dorens

another good idea... nef gave me a website that was very good and they advocated using the rail, and holding both crutches in the other hand if possible, but i could imagine throwing it down

5:18 pm

Nef

yep. The dite I gave you Dorens tells about how to navigate steps; but it would be much easier to SEE it than to read how to do it

5:19 pm

Dorens

see, whoever thinks that babble chat is a waste of time. you have all been very helpful here. better even than my school nurse

5:19 pm

kje

i never felt safe with 2 crutches in one hand, wobbled to much for me, so just threw... plus, that also allows you to throw the crutch, which you know you want to do

5:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello all...i won''t be starting this one

hi, TO. We're planning another DC meetup Nov 27 oc 28

5:19 pm

kje

or just lay it down an let it slide down the stairs

5:20 pm

Dorens

hey owl. it's a fun grid

5:20 pm

Dorens

oh h, no, kj. i am throwing it! viciously

5:20 pm

Nef

I always found that using the 2 crutches under the one arm worked best for stairs myself. If I threw a crutch down, by the time I got down there I usually didn't want to bend over and pick it up again (I'm a bit lazy when hobbling around)

5:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

keep me in the loop. perhaps something a bit more moderate, thinking of some who might want to go but the same as last time would be prohibitiv

5:21 pm

dcseain

noted, TO

5:21 pm

kje

nah, nef... you use the other crutch to pick it up!

5:21 pm

well, of course dorens, handsome dude trumps all

5:22 pm

i'll say, stid@

6:16 pm

Dorens

oh yes une,.. stupidly walking in the woods, stepped on loose rock and twisted... ended up with sprained foot. on crutches.. yucko, but not the end of the world

those cabana boys could come in handy carrying my palanquin. not sure of prognosis yet une, but I stupidly didn't seek medical advice early enough, and walked on it far too much after the first two days of pain wore off

so had to go to ER on sunday, since it had obviously gotten much worse over the weekend (i did this last monday, my last day of vacation). they told me to do all this stuff until i see the orthopod, which won't be until monday

6:19 pm

stidmama

*trying to look nonchalant* kid? what kid?

6:19 pm

stidmama

I did that once dorens, took FAR longer to get better.

6:19 pm

Dorens

oh no! i got a STERN mama look?

6:19 pm

Dorens

yep, that's why i'm feeling very stupid right about now

6:20 pm

Uneaixoise

dorens, just remember, you'll have Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman to console you :-)

6:20 pm

stidmama

you did, dorens... a woman of our VAST experience should have known better.

6:20 pm

DR1965

we all do that Dorens- do not feel stupid

6:20 pm

DR1965

6:21 pm

stidmama

kid is not walking in door yet... maybe I heard the high school bus. *sigh*

6:21 pm

periwinkle

thanks, stid, was llooking in wrong direction as usual

6:21 pm

Dorens

didn't know we had a musical chog

6:22 pm

Uneaixoise

crutches or no, it will be a wonderful day!!!

6:22 pm

stidmama

what happens on the 20th? something lovely, I hope!

6:22 pm

Dorens

6:22 pm

Uneaixoise

6:22 pm

Uneaixoise

thanks, dorens! :-)

6:22 pm

Dorens

tickets for a show with Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman. and a couple of marvelous meals before and after

6:23 pm

stidmama

oooooh. how VERY lovely! happy for you. I would _almost_ kill to see those two live... esp the latter.

6:23 pm

Dorens

stid. this kid is what age? (are you a hovering mama?)

6:23 pm

stidmama

now dog is standing up expectantly... *assuming nonchalant expression*

6:23 pm

Uneaixoise

me too, stiddy!

6:23 pm

stidmama

I am NOT hovering. I am sitting determinedly on the sofa with computer on lap...

6:24 pm

stidmama

*wait wait wait*

6:24 pm

DR1965

did the door open yet Stid?

6:24 pm

stidmama

I could let the dog out I suppose...

6:24 pm

DR1965

NO !

6:24 pm

Dorens

i'm lucky, i didn't have to kill. just bought the tickets at a discount price. Ken pays for everything else in our llives and he is so generous... so my contribution is whenever i want to see a show i buy two tickets. think i'm still ahead of the game

6:24 pm

DR1965

6:24 pm

stidmama

dog out, me back down. door? what door?

mkg

6:37 pm

Takuma Sato

sorry, my connection is very slow this evening

6:38 pm

nrkii

mkg, I still need 6 a's, but the first an5 I have is latin plural of an + **y it isn't so

6:39 pm

Takuma Sato

generally, it's relatively structured at the beginning, and as it goes on, it gets less so

6:40 pm

stidmama

yes, that is how the year's syllabus looks to me -- next year I have mostly student teaching...

6:40 pm

crosshair

think ole crossys going back to gmail as msn is getting more glitchy every day;(

6:40 pm

mkg

nrkii that is second 5. first one is above it by three.

6:40 pm

Takuma Sato

I've found that it's more demanding with less structure

6:40 pm

nrkii

okay, will look

6:41 pm

Takuma Sato

it's exhilarating and tough

6:41 pm

mkg

ty

6:41 pm

stidmama

oh oh. we got the wrong instrument book for this one for band... it's for his secondary instrument (t-bone) not primary (tuba)

6:41 pm

crosshair

6:42 pm

stidmama

so takuma, how do you keep balance in your life? do you schedule one day a week where you don't open any books, or set some time aside each day?

6:42 pm

mkg

clues for ar 7 please?

6:42 pm

Takuma Sato

I don't, tbh.

6:42 pm

crosshair

my balance is my new bansai tree;)))))

6:43 pm

crosshair

6:43 pm

nrkii

ar7 = a whole lot of weapons

6:43 pm

stidmama

what fun, cross! my grandfather had a number he had done... he gave me one that didn't make it through a very hot summer. I was sad.

6:43 pm

Takuma Sato

I had a writing schedule, that involved babble for 30min, the NYT crossword, then writing

6:43 pm

stidmama

someday, I will do another, in the same pot.

6:44 pm

stidmama

that sounds like a reasonable compromise. I did something similar last year with babble -- allowed only a half hour or an hour each day unless I was sick.

6:45 pm

crosshair

very relaxing stid;0

6:45 pm

stidmama

oh, btw cross, how did your wife enjoy the silly string?

6:47 pm

mkg

6:47 pm

I hadto shut down for a bit- I had th ered chog of death

6:48 pm

crosshair

this one has coughed up 3000 pints so far so im coasting;)

6:48 pm

Takuma Sato

I shoot for nbt on a first pass, but if I'm stumped after 30min or so, I take off and come back later if I have time

6:48 pm

nrkii

same start as ar7 but end with 15th of the month (beware the ***s of March)
